Hi there,
I am going to Hawaii this winter Dec 30 - Jan 13. I would love to see some sharks while I am there, but I am not a scuba diver (although I do plan to try snorkeling and maybe attempt some SNUBA while I am there, weather and ocean currents permitting).
I found out that on Oahu you can go out in a boat, and get into a shark cage and watch the sharks swimming around (Galapagos sharks, Sandbar Sharks, etc.). I think sharks are awesome, and I think I would like to do this, so long as it isn't disturbing the sharks - I have read that some dolphin tours are very hard on the dolphins, so I hope this doesn't bother sharks in a similar way??? I don't know that much about sharks... any information on this would be very helpful.
Anyway, I found 2 tour operators - both out out of Haleiwa, Oahu
North Shore Shark Adventures
North Shore Shark Adventures
Hawaii Shark Encounters.
Hawaii Shark Encounters Tours
Does anyone have any comments about these tours (or others)?
Are they safe for the sharks?
If so, can anyone recommend one?
Thanks for any input you may have.
Claire.
